DISCLOSURE ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE CLIMATE CHANGE

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS Upon evaluation of its operations, Technicolor determined the most significant but limited air emission contaminant resulting from the Group’s operations (Scope 1) to be equivalent carbon dioxide (CO 2eq ) associated with on-site combustion of fuels for heating and cooling, back-up power generation, fire-suppression equipment, or other typical engine-driven equipment.

In 2019, a total of 7,846 metric tons of CO 2eq were emitted from combustion sources within Technicolor’s industrial plants and larger non-industrial locations. This figure was calculated using the 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Emission factors.

Indirect emissions from consumption of electricity, steam, and chilled water (Scope 2) were 134,064 metric tons CO 2eq and were estimated using the 2018 International Energy Agency emissions factors. Scope 2 emissions CO 2eq (metric tons) 2017 (1) 199,036 2018 (1) 172,836 2019 134,064 In prior years, Scope 2 emissions were estimated using the 2014 GHG Protocol version 4.5 emissions factors. (1)

Beyond scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, the most significant contributions to scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions are shown below, in decreasing significance. Where quantitative estimates are shown, the values are approximate due to assumptions required and potential absence of exact knowledge for specific type of transportation equipment and fuel. Necessary assumptions are based on industry standards or surveys for collective vehicle performance or consumer behavior: electricity consumption during the use of Connected Home devices • (Set-Top Box and gateways) in their targeted markets during their estimated product lifetime of 5 years. The total impact of all Connected Home devices produced during 2019 is estimated to be an equivalent 1.07 million tons of CO 2eq during each full year of product operation. The assumed product operation that may be controlled in part by the network operator and the consumer, includes active hours during use, standby hours when not actively in use, and switched-off hours, aligned primarily with the customer habits for using their television at home. For any individual piece of equipment, the true equivalent emission will depend on the country and region of operation as emission factors vary significantly depending on electricity generation methods and sources in each country;

raw materials and distribution of DVD and Blu-ray TM discs. The • estimated impact of all inbound and outbound traffic controlled by Technicolor during 2019 for DVD products was 65,745 tons CO 2eq ; raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, and dismantling • (cradle-to-cradle) of Connected Home devices (Set-Top Box and gateways). The estimated impact of all inbound and outbound traffic controlled by Technicolor during 2019 for Connected Home devices was 11,817 tons CO 2eq ; employee commuting; • business travel, primarily air travel, had an estimated impact of • 28,040 tons CO 2eq during 2019; data centers supporting all businesses and functions within • Technicolor, but primarily attributable to Production Services generated an estimated impact during 2019 of 16,340 tons CO 2eq . In 2019, Technicolor participated for the twelfth consecutive year in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), targeting collaboration between large international firms and investors related to global warming. Technicolor’s emissions disclosure is available on the CDP’s website: http://www.cdp.net/
